Kim Dae-seok's Eel Gimbap

Cooking tips 💡

• Adding 1 tablespoon of potato starch to the egg mixture prevents the omelet from tearing and makes it firmer, ideal for rolling into gimbap.
• Brushing ginger wine or ginger juice onto the eel while grilling effectively eliminates its earthy and fishy odors while enhancing its rich flavor.
• Placing perilla leaves between the rice and eel acts as a moisture barrier, preventing the rice from becoming soggy due to the eel’s marinade—this is the key trick.
• Lightly coating the knife with sesame oil when slicing ensures clean, neat cuts without the gimbap breaking apart.
